For making this stuffed Bhindi , Dry coconut , puffed gram and spices are blended and then stuffed inside Bhindi and cooked . The only time time consuming job here is drying the bhindi after rinsing it with water. Its very important for bhindi to be completely dry before stuffing the the spices or else it may become very slippery.

Bhindi| Okra is one of my favourite vegetable. Not because it is extremely nutritious but I love the taste of this vegetable. Its known that okra is a high fiber food. But how does this fiber helps ? Okara has soluble fibres in the form of pectins which helps in lowering bad cholesterol levels. Also fiber intake is highly recommended for patients with diabetes because it boosts digestion and also keeps satiated for a long time. Also folate in Okra is beneficial during pregnancy.

Always try using tender and fresh okra for making this Stuffed Bhindi.One more Bhendi Recipe which I often do at home is Tangy Stir Fried Okra .
